Can't install webcam app

[fabiopjve]

I am trying to test a USB webcam, but when I try to install the webcam app, I get the login screen after a couple seconds, I login and by clicking on the webcam icon I see the installation continues. Then it asks me to refresh the browser and after that, when I click the webcam icon it asks me to install the app again. I tried a lot of times, both on Firefox and Chromium with the same results. I also tried to install using command line: root@Omega-0347:~# opkg install onion-console-webcam

exactly the same behavior here. Using Onion omega2+ with Power Dock.

PS: could someone make an IRC support channel on webchat.freenode.net ? I think it will be very useful !

I had the same problem, i installed using opkg with the --force-reinstall option, installation was fine, but i still don't manage to get any feedback from the webcam :(

Same here, no webcam video...

But using mjpg_streamer does show video. (mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -y" -o "output_http.so")

Then connect to 192.168.x.x:8080:/?action=stream and watch video

I think it's something in the settings of the Webcam App..

Any help please?
